Abstract (en)

[origin: US4639077A] A coupling for a light-conducting fiber, including a metal coupling body, a first device for holding a light-conducting fiber disposed in one side of the metal body and, a second device for holding an opto-electronic transmitting element provided in the other side of the metal body. An opto-electronic transmitting element located in a housing is thermally coupled to the coupling body via a metal cap placed on the housing. As a result of this coupling, the thermal loading of the transmitting element is considerably reduced. For purposes of electrical isolation, an insulating layer can be additionally applied between the metal cap and the coupling body.
